An Angel's Wings
God
brought to children
in sorties of pain
Strictures
and scriptures
religion ordained
The wings
of an Angel
lie buried within
Iconoclasts
pawning
— original sin
(Dreamsleep: January, 2026)

Abstract theological concepts (God, angel, sin) mixed with personal spiritual questioning.
Dense compression: multiple ideas (divinity, pain, religion, iconoclasm) in five short lines.
Dark tone: pain, strictures, buried wings, sin dominate despite spiritual subject matter.
Fractured syntax, ampersands, dashes create urgent, explosive propulsion throughout.
Micro poem: five lines total, excluding timestamp.
Rich metaphors (wings, angel), personification, symbolic language densely layered.
Primarily lyric introspection but with dramatic iconoclastic voice addressing larger forces.
